The movie “MINECRAFT: The Movie,” adapted from the world’s best-selling video game, has just released its latest trailer and poster. The teaser showcases the two male leads who are unexpectedly transported to a “main world” made entirely of blocks. Here, they encounter an adorable panda family and watch as Jack Black wields the classic “elytra” item, engaging in an exhilarating aerial chase with the piglin army. Jason Momoa even comes across a rare pink sheep, which appears in the game with only a one in a thousand chance—much to the delight of players worldwide!
In the film, Jason Momoa plays a washed-up video game champion hoping to revive his career, sporting an extravagant look with a pink jacket and vintage jeans that channel a charming 90s retro vibe, but he unexpectedly steps into the “Main World.” Alongside Jack Black, they fight to protect this imaginative realm against dark forces. The duo flips the script with their creative thinking, crafting various weapons and gadgets out of blocks, including water bucket drops, winged gliding, and using explosives to battle the skeleton army at night, all while uniting to fend off the threat posed by the goblin army!
This movie inherits the incredible freedom of the world of Minecraft, perfectly crafting an immersive blocky universe. Just watching the protagonists explore the main world is already exhilarating.

Moreover, the latest trailer showcases the classic Elytra flying devices, helping Jason Momoa soar gracefully while cleverly dodging the pursuing piglin, beautifully integrating iconic game elements.
The movie revolves around the characters of “Garbage Man” Garrison (played by Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers), and Tan (Danielle Brooks), who accidentally stumble upon a mysterious entrance and find themselves in a bizarre and imaginative cube world. To return home, they must learn to navigate this realm and embark on an exhilarating journey alongside professional builder Steve (Jack Black). This adventure will test their courage and rekindle each individual’s unique creativity, honing the skills they need to make it back to the real world.
